In the United States, potential targets in a worst-case scenario are typically locations tied to military infrastructure, nuclear facilities, major ports, or command centers. This means areas in the central U.S. that host missile silos—such as parts of Montana, Wyoming, and the Dakotas—are often considered higher-risk in strategic planning.

Some analysts suggest that regions without major military or strategic assets—like parts of the Northeast or certain coastal and rural areas—might face less immediate risk. However, this does not mean they are completely safe, as modern conflicts can impact infrastructure, supply chains, and civilian life far beyond direct targets.
